Trance Painting



Trance painting
Music beating rhythm  the hall is filled with hippy folk
  mushrooms kicking in
He begins to paint a hill
  with a yellow sun overhead
Broad strokes brown and
green and there a dab of red

Black light   strobeblacklight
teetharewhte  ohsowhite
inthislight  inthisblacklight

Now he swirls his strokes
  changing from a hill to an erupting volcano
The sun which had appeared
before  bright above the hill
Has become fiery balls of fire
  Hot volcanic spill

Trancevibe ebbs and flows    
  with the waving in my chest
it grows and grows
Many happy folk and hippy
folk are happy folk are here
Come to share with one another  companionship and cheer

Music beating rhythm
painter rests his brush
the canvas mural it is done
He began to paint a hill
  with a yellow sun overhead
Now a Flamenco flowing dress  in her hands are castanets
